His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

This year's work aims to ensure that the spillway is capable of handling large releases of water this winter, if necessary, and that the first step in reinforcing the erosion-prone slope serving as the dam's emergency spillway is well underway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result is a construction effort of vast scope and complexity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of cool things going on here -- fast,\" Jeff Petersen, managing the project for contractor Kiewit Infrastructure West, told a pair of radio reporters during a recent site visit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kiewit, and Petersen, came to Oroville fresh from another big Northern California dam project -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.spk.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Folsom-Dam-Auxiliary-Spillway/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the new auxiliary spillway\u003c/a> at Folsom Dam, a structure that took more than a decade to design and build.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oroville project?

It's different for the regulatory agencies to approve it as fast as they did,\" Petersen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He notes that many parts of the project construction have been under discussion even as demolition and construction began earlier this year. One of those unknowns involves the massive chasms that eroded beneath the spillway and how much excavation would be needed to reach the competent bedrock upon which the new spillway must be built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We didn't know how deep this cut was going to go,\" Petersen said as he stood at the edge of one of those chasms. \"So we had a rough plan, and then as you come out here and start doing the excavation and some more exploration, you say, 'Hey, we gotta get rid of this bad rock, let's take some more excavation out of this area.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11620113\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/23544904118_4b8e6a3f0a_o-e1506891551559.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11620113\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/23544904118_4b8e6a3f0a_o-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeff Petersen, with contractor Kiewit Infrastructure West, is managing the Oroville spillways project. \u003ccite>(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he main spillway itself is a structure whose scale is nearly impossible to comprehend, even when you're standing in the middle of it. The chute is 3,000 feet long and 180 feet wide, with side walls that are close to 3 stories tall. The chute plunges downhill from a structure housing eight massive gates designed to control the release of water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system -- the flood control outlet, the spillway and the emergency -- are part of conventional dam design, allowing operators to manage the level of the reservoir behind Oroville Dam. What's not conventional is the scale: The dam is the tallest in the United States, rising 770 feet from the bed of the Feather River. And the reservoir behind it, Lake Oroville, is California's second largest (only Shasta Lake is bigger), with the capacity to store enough water to supply about 7 million California households for a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Feather River watershed's potential for unleashing massive amounts of runoff is also vast, and the main spillway and emergency spillway are designed, in theory, to allow passage of more than 600,000 cubic feet per second without threatening the dam's integrity (under this scenario, the concrete spillway would discharge 277,000 cfs and the emergency spillway -- again, an unpaved hillside -- would handle about 350,000 cfs).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a caveat there: \"in theory.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, the highest flow the spillway has ever been called upon to handle was about 160,000 cfs, during the New Year's floods of January 1997. After that event, the structure, which had gone into service in 1968 and had already undergone extensive patching, required emergency repairs to cracked and eroded concrete and exposed rebar. A further top-to-bottom round of patching followed in 2009, followed by a less extensive job in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us to early February, when a large section of the invulnerable-looking chute disintegrated under flows of roughly 50,000 cfs. Subsequent flows devastated the concrete spillway structure. Water cascading over an ungated weir at about 12,000 cfs-- a trickle relative to what the Department of Water Resources says it could handle -- caused extensive erosion in the emergency spillway. That led to fears of a weir collapse and evacuation of 180,000 people downstream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That spillway failure and crisis, in turn, spawned the current sprint to rebuild the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11620128\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/37366399212_5afbcee504_o-e1506891271701.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11620128\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/37366399212_5afbcee504_o-800x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"574\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The truck has just dumped a load of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) -- the material being used to fill the vast chasms that opened up after the main spillway breached in February.

The chute is 3,000 feet long and 180 feet wide, with side walls that are close to 3 stories tall. The chute plunges downhill from a structure housing eight massive gates designed to control the release of water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system -- the flood control outlet, the spillway and the emergency -- are part of conventional dam design, allowing operators to manage the level of the reservoir behind Oroville Dam. What's not conventional is the scale: The dam is the tallest in the United States, rising 770 feet from the bed of the Feather River. And the reservoir behind it, Lake Oroville, is California's second largest (only Shasta Lake is bigger), with the capacity to store enough water to supply about 7 million California households for a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Feather River watershed's potential for unleashing massive amounts of runoff is also vast, and the main spillway and emergency spillway are designed, in theory, to allow passage of more than 600,000 cubic feet per second without threatening the dam's integrity (under this scenario, the concrete spillway would discharge 277,000 cfs and the emergency spillway -- again, an unpaved hillside -- would handle about 350,000 cfs).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's a caveat there: \"in theory.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, the highest flow the spillway has ever been called upon to handle was about 160,000 cfs, during the New Year's floods of January 1997. After that event, the structure, which had gone into service in 1968 and had already undergone extensive patching, required emergency repairs to cracked and eroded concrete and exposed rebar. A further top-to-bottom round of patching followed in 2009, followed by a less extensive job in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us to early February, when a large section of the invulnerable-looking chute disintegrated under flows of roughly 50,000 cfs. Subsequent flows devastated the concrete spillway structure. Water cascading over an ungated weir at about 12,000 cfs-- a trickle relative to what the Department of Water Resources says it could handle -- caused extensive erosion in the emergency spillway. That led to fears of a weir collapse and evacuation of 180,000 people downstream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That spillway failure and crisis, in turn, spawned the current sprint to rebuild the structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11620128\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/37366399212_5afbcee504_o-e1506891271701.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11620128\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/37366399212_5afbcee504_o-800x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"574\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The truck has just dumped a load of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) -- the material being used to fill the vast chasms that opened up after the main spillway breached in February.

"content": "\u003cp>A coalition of California environmental groups is calling on the California Department of Water Resources to build a complete, functional emergency spillway at Oroville Dam as part of a sweeping program to improve dam safety and flood control practices across the state and beyond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conservation coalition -- including Friends of the River, the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, the South Yuba River Citizens League and American Whitewater -- released \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4056280/The-Oroville-Dam-2017-Spillway-Incident-Lessons.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a 53-page report\u003c/a> seeking to apply lessons learned from February's Oroville spillway crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report includes dozens of recommendations to improve oversight and operation of dams, adopt more environmentally friendly flood control measures in the Central Valley, make dam safety issues more transparent to the public, and try to heal the long, unhappy relationship between the Department of Water Resources and Oroville and other communities in the Feather River basin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the overall issues here is that California's existing dam and flood infrastructure really needs to be fixed now,\" Eric Wesselman, Friends of the River executive director, said in presenting the report during a media call Tuesday. \"The near catastrophe at Oroville is a wake-up call for action to keep water moving and ensure people are safe and downstream communities are protected at Oroville, as well as at other high-hazard dams around the country. The incident exposed this reality that 20th century water infrastructure and management policies don't meet 21st century needs in a warming climate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call for action at Oroville Dam continues a battle that began in 2005 when Friends of the River, the Sierra Club and the South Yuba group \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/02/12/oroville-dam-feds-and-state-officials-ignored-warnings-12-years-ago/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">asked federal regulators\u003c/a> to consider requiring DWR, the dam's owner, to pave the emergency spillway -- a tree-and-rock-covered hillside that slopes steeply from a 1,730-foot-long concrete overflow weir to the Feather River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The groups argued that water cascading down the slope -- an event that at that point had never occurred -- posed a serious erosion threat and could prove disastrous both to the dam complex and downstream facilities and communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rejected the request to study the issue after receiving assurances from the Department of Water Resources that erosion along the emergency spillway would be limited and that it posed no risk to the dam's other components. A 2014 FERC-DWR safety review \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/09/oroville-dam-spillway-ferc-safety-review-2014-ruled-out-spillway-failure/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rejected further study\u003c/a> of the erosion scenario as too unlikely to merit further study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the dam's main spillway failed in February, water rose rapidly in Lake Oroville and flowed over the emergency weir and down the unpaved hillside. The resulting erosion threatened to undermine the weir and unleash a wall of water down the Feather River, a prospect that prompted the evacuation of about 180,000 people downstream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Water Resources is in the midst of a crash construction effort to get a partially rebuilt main spillway ready for use in time for the rainy season. At the same time, it's taking steps that will reinforce the hillside that serves as the emergency spillway but stop well short of building a concrete channel to handle future overflows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ron Stork, senior policy advocate for Friends of the River, said building a functional concrete emergency spillway is a necessary step to prevent a repeat of February's near-disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that climate change increases the risk of \"a true catastrophe\" involving the state's water infrastructure, Stork said the Department of Water Resources \"must give us confidence that the reconstruction efforts at Oroville are well founded to ensure safe and reliable operations -- and that, of course, must include construction of a complete emergency spillway.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also calls for a fundamental change in how dams and attached facilities are inspected and evaluated. In a recommendation that echoes one \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/06/oroville-panel-says-dam-officials-missed-clues-to-spillway-flaws/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made earlier this month\u003c/a> by the independent forensic team studying the Oroville spillway failure, the coalition urges dam owners to conduct periodic comprehensive reviews of dam facilities to compare their original design and construction against current standards and for federal regulators to consider dam safety when they review dams for relicensing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Overall, we're trying to have people, and people who manage water, look at water infrastructure differently,\" said Chris Shutes, FERC projects director for the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance. \"I would compare it to what happened after the Loma Prieta earthquake. We had engineers and architects going around looking at different buildings and re-evaluating them in light of what happened in Loma Prieta. And we're kind of looking for the same kind of approach with water infrastructure.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The incident exposed this reality that 20th century water infrastructure and management policies don't meet 21st century needs in a warming climate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call for action at Oroville Dam continues a battle that began in 2005 when Friends of the River, the Sierra Club and the South Yuba group \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/02/12/oroville-dam-feds-and-state-officials-ignored-warnings-12-years-ago/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">asked federal regulators\u003c/a> to consider requiring DWR, the dam's owner, to pave the emergency spillway -- a tree-and-rock-covered hillside that slopes steeply from a 1,730-foot-long concrete overflow weir to the Feather River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A 2014 FERC-DWR safety review \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/08/09/oroville-dam-spillway-ferc-safety-review-2014-ruled-out-spillway-failure/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rejected further study\u003c/a> of the erosion scenario as too unlikely to merit further study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the dam's main spillway failed in February, water rose rapidly in Lake Oroville and flowed over the emergency weir and down the unpaved hillside. The resulting erosion threatened to undermine the weir and unleash a wall of water down the Feather River, a prospect that prompted the evacuation of about 180,000 people downstream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Water Resources is in the midst of a crash construction effort to get a partially rebuilt main spillway ready for use in time for the rainy season. At the same time, it's taking steps that will reinforce the hillside that serves as the emergency spillway but stop well short of building a concrete channel to handle future overflows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ron Stork, senior policy advocate for Friends of the River, said building a functional concrete emergency spillway is a necessary step to prevent a repeat of February's near-disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that climate change increases the risk of \"a true catastrophe\" involving the state's water infrastructure, Stork said the Department of Water Resources \"must give us confidence that the reconstruction efforts at Oroville are well founded to ensure safe and reliable operations -- and that, of course, must include construction of a complete emergency spillway.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also calls for a fundamental change in how dams and attached facilities are inspected and evaluated. In a recommendation that echoes one \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/06/oroville-panel-says-dam-officials-missed-clues-to-spillway-flaws/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made earlier this month\u003c/a> by the independent forensic team studying the Oroville spillway failure, the coalition urges dam owners to conduct periodic comprehensive reviews of dam facilities to compare their original design and construction against current standards and for federal regulators to consider dam safety when they review dams for relicensing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Overall, we're trying to have people, and people who manage water, look at water infrastructure differently,\" said Chris Shutes, FERC projects director for the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance. \"I would compare it to what happened after the Loma Prieta earthquake. We had engineers and architects going around looking at different buildings and re-evaluating them in light of what happened in Loma Prieta. And we're kind of looking for the same kind of approach with water infrastructure.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
